I'm Sarah's biggest fan but the boy has a right to his child same as they do.
They should not get married if they already loathe one another at this early juncture.
Sarah and Todd will do most of the rearing as would I in that circumstance but I would never withhold him from his daddy for interaction and whatnot up to whatever point the dad was mature enough or capable enough for.
I have a cousin who was sort of like this. She married the boy preggers at 18 her senior year and after 2 years decided this sucked and started cheating on him and left the daddy who actually was good for the child.
The dad at 20 now had custody and is raising the child with his parents and my cousin and her folks (my first cousins) are on visitation now.
I don't know exactly what the Palin circumstances are but the dad has rights.
and btw....what his mom does wrong is more about her unless he's charged too, folks here think that ruins it for him...not so
Good points.
He slandered and called Governor Palin a liar and still wants to visit their house? Or does he want to take the child to his house where his drug-peddling mom lives?
He has no work and no regular income. He lives at his mother's house. I think it certainly DOES matter what his mom is doing, because that's where the child would find itself.
NO, I just think it provides an inadequate environment for the baby.
You are right - as the father he has rights and the child has a right to know his father. But if he is living with his drug dealing Mommy there might need to be an arrangement made for the assured safety of the baby.
